| Abstract: | Synopsis Effects of a total solar eclipse on fish have rarely been recorded. Three freshwater fish species — Amphipnous cuchia, Anabas testudineus and Colisa fasciata were studied during the past total solar eclipse on February 16, 1980. Behavioural studies pertaining chiefly to fish movement, fish breathing and colouration were made, and possible reasons for effects are discussed. |
